metabolic rate and can be calculated as follows; The R.Q can also help in determining the type of diet an organism is on. For example‚ a diet high in fat would result in a low R.Q due to the greater amount of O2 molecules required to metabolize that fat for ATP. On the contrary‚ a high protein diet would result in a larger R.Q due to a fewer amount of O2 molecules required to metabolize that protein for ATP. In a study performed by Renault et al. (2003) it was found that starvation resulted in a
